dialog(1) is too old on 10.3

[Vitaliy T]

Hello,

The current version of dialog(1) under 10.3-RELEASE is very buggy, IMHO.
For instance, the next example has taken from "man pv":

              (tar cf - . \
               | pv -n -s $(du -sb . | awk '{print $1}') \
               | gzip -9 > out.tgz) 2>&1 \
              | dialog --gauge 'Progress' 7 70

dialog(1) will exit with core dump by default, because of this version
contains a regression as has been noted
in the changelog:

2013/09/28
        + fix a regression in gauge widget from 2013/09/28 changes;
          dlg_reallocate_gauge() failed when no --title option was given
          (report by Tritonas Insomnia).

The version of dialog(1) under 10.3 is older than this fix, of course.

Thanks!

P.S. I am not sure if this information is important, just to note for
mainteners.
